Auralee Jewelry

Pearls have long been a signifier of wealth and opulence. That tradition continues even today when pearls are no longer plucked from deep-sea oysters. Pearl-diving was a perilous endeavor with a high risk-reward ratio. Still, despite the prevalence of freshwater cultivated pearls, these items remain a fashion mainstay. Japan, Kuwait and the United States all boast burgeoning pearl markets.

Once you’ve obtained your treasured freshwater pearl necklace, keeping it flawless and free of scratches is no easy feat. Be sure to separate your pearls and other equally vulnerable jewelry from hard gemstones like diamonds and cubic zirconia. If you can track down a jewelry box with multiple compartments it will serve you well. Otherwise simply wrap the pearls in a soft cloth.
